Mannatech Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

COPPELL, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 8, 2017-- Mannatech, Incorporated(NASDAQ: MTEX), a global health and wellness company committed to transforming lives to make a better world, today announced financial results for its second quarter of 2017.

Second Quarter Results

Second quarter net sales for 2017 were $47.7 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 2.3% as compared to $48.8 million in the second quarter of 2016. Income (loss) from operations was $2.8 million for the second quarter 2017, as compared to $(0.1) million in the same period in 2016. Net income (loss) was $1.8 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2016, as compared to $(1.3) million, or $(0.49) per diluted share, for the second quarter 2016.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, our net sales declined 3.5% on a constant dollar basis (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures, below) as compared to the same period in 2016. Excluding the effects due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, net sales would have declined $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, Mannatech’s operations outside of the Americas accounted for approximately 59.1% of Mannatech’s consolidated net sales.

Second quarter 2017 Asia/Pacific net sales decreased by $1.6 million, or 6.1%, to $24.7 million, as compared to $26.3 million for the same period in 2016. This decrease was primarily due to a 9.0% decrease in revenue per active independent associate and member, which was partially offset by a 3.2% increase in the number of active independent associates and members. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the loyalty program increased sales by $0.3 million, as compared to the same period in 2016. Foreign currency exchange had the effect of increasing revenue by $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016. The currency impact is primarily due to the strengthening of the Korean Won and Taiwanese Dollar, which was partially offset by the weakening of the Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan (Renminbi).

EMEA net sales remained the same at $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. During this comparative period, the number of active independent associates and members in EMEA increased 1.0%, which was partially offset by a 1.0% decrease in revenue per active independent associate and member. Foreign currency exchange had the effect of increasing revenue by $0.2 million when the three-month period ending June 30, 2017 is compared to the same period in 2016. The currency impact is primarily due to the strengthening of the South Africa Rand, which was partially offset by the weakening of the British Pound and the Euro.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, net sales in the Americas increased by $0.5 million, or 2.6%, to $19.5 million, as compared to $19.0 million for the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily due to a 12.1% increase in revenue per active independent associate and member, which was partially offset by an 8.5% decline in the number of active independent associates and members. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the loyalty program in the Americas increased sales by $0.4 million, as compared to the same period in 2016.

Commission expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by 5.7%, or $1.1 million, to $18.3 million, as compared to $19.4 million for the same period in 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, commissions as a percentage of net sales decreased to 38.5% from 39.7% for the same period in 2016. During the first quarter, we recorded commission expense on the pre-launch in certain Asia/Pacific markets of new products that were available after our annual convention held in April 2017.

Incentive costs for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by 30.0%, or $0.3 million, to $0.7 million, as compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease was due to a decline in the number of qualified individuals within the Americas attending incentive trips. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, incentives as a percentage of net sales decreased to 1.3% from 2.1% for the same period in 2016.

The number of new and continuing active independent associates and members who purchased our packs or products during the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were approximately 218,000 and 222,000, respectively. Recruitment of new independent associates and members decreased 6.7% during the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The number of new independent associate and member positions held by individuals in our network for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately 26,500, as compared to 28,400 for the same period in 2016.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, selling and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 million, or 2.5%, to $10.0 million, as compared to $9.7 million for the same period in 2016. Our marketing related costs increased $0.4 million due to increased expenses in respect of our Mannafest event held in Las Vegas. During the second quarter, we recorded severance charges of $0.2 million, which were partially offset by decreases in other payroll costs stemming from fewer employees and a $0.1 million decrease in stock based compensation expense. Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased to 20.9% from 19.9% for the same period in 2016.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, other operating costs decreased by $1.5 million, or 18.8%, to $6.7 million, as compared to $8.2 million for the same period in 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, other operating costs as a percentage of net sales decreased to 14.0% from 16.8% for the same period in 2016. The decrease was due to a $0.7 million decrease in travel and entertainment costs, a $0.3 million decrease in accounting and auditing fees, a $0.3 million decrease in legal and consulting fees and a $0.2 million decrease in bad debt expense.

As of June 30, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents increased by 24.0%, or $6.9 million, to $35.6 million from $28.7 million as of December 31, 2016. Our inventory balance at June 30, 2017 was $10.9 million, compared to $12.0 million at December 31, 2016, reflecting sales at our successful Mannafest event in Las Vegas, Nevada, in April.

Our accounts payable balance at June 30, 2017 increased to $6.1 million, compared to $5.2 million at December 31, 2016, due to incentive costs. At June 30, 2017, our commissions and incentives payable increased to $9.7 million from $8.8 million at December 31, 2016, due to timing of our commission payments. During the second quarter of 2017, we paid dividends of $0.3 million and repurchased approximately $0.1 million of our stock.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release and related tables include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including a presentation of constant dollar measures. We disclose operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, including changes in: Net Sales, Gross Profit, and Income from Operations.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are an indicator of the strength and performance of ongoing business operations. The constant currency figures are financial measures used by management to provide investors an additional perspective on trends. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an exclusive alternative to accompanying GAAP financial measures. Please see the accompanying table entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we disclose operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, including changes in: Net Sales, Gross Profit, and Income from Operations. We refer to these adjusted financial measures as constant dollar items, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these measures provide investors an additional perspective on trends. To exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, we calculate current year results and prior year results at a constant exchange rate, which is the prior year’s rate. Currency impact is determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates.
